December 28, 2004-- There are only nine days remaining until Congress meets and either ratifies or contests the Electoral College certificates of ascertainment that could make the Nov 2004 presidential election final. The mainstream media (MSM in Blog-speak) is almost completely ignoring the issue of vote fraud and their silence is conspicuously deafening.

Therefore, We the People, must become the media and spread the truth about the 2004 election and put pressure on our elected officials (especially U.S. Senators) to speak out and sign on to contest the 2004 presidential election.

The most important stories (talking points to spread by e-mail, phone and face-to-face) are outlined below.

2. The chance that the exit polls randomly diverging from reported results in PA, FL and OH is only 1 in 250 million (see Dr. Freeman article in left margin of http://www.truthinvoting.org under "Exit Poll Research"). The actual causes, which are almost certainly non-random, are most likely vote fraud and/or election rigging-- an immediate investigation is definitely warranted. One of Oregon's own scholars, Richard Hayes Phillips offers his analysis/testimony at : http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0412/S00167.htm

3. Triad systems appears to have rigged the Ohio recount with "cheat sheets". http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/121604Z.shtml "The Triad Systems representative suggested that since the hand count had to match the machine count exactly, and since it would be hard to memorize the several numbers which would be needed to get the count to come out exactly right, that they should post this series of numbers on the wall where they would not be noticed by observers. He suggested making them look like employee information or something similar. The people doing the hand count could then just report these numbers no matter what the actual count of the ballots revealed. This would then "match" the tabulator report for this precinct exactly. The numbers were apparently the final certified counts for the selected precinct. "

4. The widespread suppression of the black vote in Cleveland and other predominantly black areas in Ohio was criminal and should not be allowed to stand. It seems clear that the imbalanced misallocation of voting machines between Republican and Democratic precincts was designed to suppress black voting. This racist policy must be exposed and corrected immediately, not two years or four years or six years hence.

5. The affidavit of Clinton Curtis, a programmer in Florida, provides shocking indications that electronic vote machine rigging may have been going on since 2000. Congressman Feeney (Jeb Bush's running mate from the 90's) is implicated. This story deserves far, far more attention than it's been getting. From Feeney's hometown paper: http://www.seminolechronicle.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/12/16/41c2fdb042ea1 All of this and more suggests that there are overwhelming problems with the 2004 election and that it's not at all unreasonable to suppose that Kerry may have been the real winner, just as Al Gore was in the 2000 election. We do not wish to wait another 4 years to get another chance at a fair election. We request that the 2004 election be repaired or repeated immediately. We, in the U.S., deserve fair elections just as much as the people of the Ukraine. Sincerely, Marc Baber
